“It’s impossible to become a smart, circular city in a linear, wasteful world. That’s an absurd ambition,” said Ken Webster in his keynote on the Circular Economy. This was one of many thought-provoking and insightful, today at CSWEurope15 centred on ‘Smart Cities and Mobility Solution Through Crowds’.
There were interesting discussions and debates on smart cities, the sharing economy, and the future of mobility. And in case you missed the news, CSW Europe saw some exciting announcements on Tuesday – CarAmigo made headlines for securing a clear tax ruling income from P2P car sharing on its platfrom and The Things Network launched a Kickstarter campaign for their bespoke hardware.
